@AirTanzania just your phone keeps cutting me off after waiting 5 minutes, your email is not rejecting my emails, your website is not working to make specific bookings. How can this be?

@stokecity is the stoke city app down? Looking to watch the game and it keeps crashing on my various devices and both WiFi and mobile internet

I am attending the Zanzibar forum for sustainable tax development, why? True conservation efforts cannot exist without socio-economic, environment and political balance, engaging in dialogue around taxation is part of the foundations of sustainable development and conservation.

@BenCooke135 Chumbe Island Coral Park to see how businesses can and should be run

The next Times environmental supplement will be about preparing young people for climate change and net zero. I'm interested in featuring ideas to adapt the curriculum, train young people for green jobs, help them deal with climate anxiety, and so on.Who should I be speaking to?

@fleroy1974 I think this is great actually, I can understand you see these things a negative, but for me I would be happy to do what I can to reduce my carbon footprint

Have you heard of @C40Cities? If not you better inform yourself. Here's a 🧵outlining what they're planning for you if you live in a global city like Paris, London, Milan, Beijing, Toronto, or NYC.

@ProfTerryHughes @DiseaseMatters @Lacertko @mimms78 Yes very true. I met a BBC journalist who had been working in the Seychelles in the 70's and he was asking me how his favorite reefs were doing, and these reefs are now algal dominated reefs.

Stunning diversity and abundance of fish on these reefs in the Seychelles

@DiseaseMatters @Lacertko @mimms78 @ProfTerryHughes I think the thing is, there are patches of nice coral in various places in Seychelles, but for the inner islands of Seychelles the baseline has shifted so far from 30-50 years ago.

@scubajunkie22 @FCDOGovUK @CefasGovUK @jncc @The_MMO We are not based in Mozambique but in Tanzania, but at Chumbe Island Coral Park, we have been running a Privately Managed Marine protected for thirty years funded through our eco-tourism operations. I would be happy to connect and share our experiences.

@GuzKhanOfficial Look forward watching it!

And that is a WRAP on Man Like Mobeen 4. I pour my heart and soul into this project. I came off the street to try and give my people something they’d love. I pray you do. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible. I love you all very much. #ManLikeMobeen

@AdamCrafton_ We played yesterday without any momentum or passion, I looked at the pre-match press conference and Southgate was trying to show respect to the USA and that are team are ready and focused, draining all the excitement. E.g. Klopp and Pep, they make you/players excited and pumped.

@AdamCrafton_ Southgate is the typical well groomed and trained modern manager, respectful, says all the right things.... But at the moment I think this is actually the issue, what we are missing, we need the players to be inspired, someone who puts a fire in the belly, gets the players going.

Ten years (and 1.6 billion views) ago, when my brother and I decided that we could make videos that could substantially help people in their high school and college educations and then give them away for free, no one was there to tell us we were wrong.

@apriljazB @KatrinaJDavis @AlexDavidRogers @CatherineHead14 @Ana__Nuno @NancyBunbury @SIF_Seychelles @Steve__Kelly @AshSendellPrice @noam_vv @mahesituated @sheena_talma @OxfordEnvRes Big congratulations!!! Always knew you would be a doctor one day!

🏝PhDone thanks to my examiners @KatrinaJDavis and @AlexDavidRogers for a very enjoyable discussion and constructive questioning. I never in a million years would have predicted I will be defending a PhD thesis one day. Thanks to everyone who helped me get here!

@ANGIEPOPS11 Very interesting point. To me this highlights the key need in higher education, science and research etc. to facilitate people from all walks of life and backgrounds as equal stakeholders. Social mobility and inclusion is only better for the advancement of science

#PhDLife The must-do literature review - Sitting down reading what 'Western' academics write about island nationsmakes you wonder whether, in the same way, that I am regularly told to be objective in undertaking research, they acknowledged their privilege and elitism when writing

@vivienne_evans Completely agree with you, I find this so disheartening that at the moment this is often completely overplayed. Can be a tool for awareness raising, maybe tourism if done correctly and or a scientific research, but restoration without recognition of true scalability is dishonest

“Planting corals may seem a quick fix for the truly overwhelming task of saving coral reefs, but we must be realistic about what it can achieve.”- A short article I wrote about #coral restoration.
